WOW ! WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY CAN MAKE !!

The winter, ( and I use the term loosely ) of 2011 / 2012 will go down in weather history as being one of the mildest and snowless in a long time. Here at least. Around the world, not so much.

Took the Farm Guardians for a run yesterday in the snow and what a beautiful world we found. One of "snowy lace" and "laden Boughs."

﻿﻿﻿﻿

We may not be out of the woods yet but with a month to go we have had a relatively good winter on the farm. So far we have only delt with frozen water lines once ( touch wood ) and saved much in fuel by not having to move snow.

﻿﻿﻿﻿

However as snow enthusiasts ourselves the cross country skis, snowshoes, toboggans and sleds, not to mention horse drawn sleigh rides have been mostly idle.

﻿ ﻿﻿﻿

Skates however were almost needed just to get us all around with all the ice.

With SPRING approaching, thoughts turn to gentle rains and warm sunshine to help the 2012 crops to grow.
